Oscilloscope Mode (cont'd)
The finite duration of the study interval results in a convolution in the signal
frequency domain with a function sinx/x.
This convolution modifies the graphic representation of the FFT because
of the lateral lobes characteristic of the sinx/x function (unless the study
interval contains a whole number of periods).
Four types of window selections are available: the menus appear directly
on selection of the FFT menu.
Effects of under-sampling on frequency representation:
If the sampling frequency is not correctly adjusted (less than or twice the
maximum frequency of the signal to be measured), the high-frequency
components will be under-sampled and appear in the graphic
representation of the FFT by symmetry (aliasing).
•
The "Autoset" function is active. This prevents the phenomenon above
and adapts the horizontal scale: the representation is more legible.
•
The "Zoom" function is active.
The " " symbol in front of one of the options indicates the function
selected.
"EXTENDED
ACQUISITION
MEMORY"
option operation
If the "EXTENDED ACQUISITION MEMORY" option is installed
(see §. Menu " ? "
"Options"):
•
The acquisition memory is extended from 2,500 samples to 50,000
samples.
•
On the time base range [1 ns, 5 ms], the signal image is obtained by the
aggregate of several acquisitions and reconstruction. Deactivate the
"HORIZ " "Repetitive Signal" option if the signal observed is not
periodical, acquired and synchronous with the trigger.
•
On the time base range [10 ms, 200 s], 50,000 samples are obtained in
one acquisition.
